Space Flight Adventure Camp offers week-long, residential summer camps for students interested in learning about the science and engineering of rockets and space flight. Top educators will lead each camp. The instructors are carefully selected for their successful experience in working with young learners and for their passion for space science. Eight residential camps will be held June through August for ages 11 to 15. You will be training along side fellow space explorers at an operational NASA space facility! At Space Flight Adventure Camp you don't just hear what astronauts do, you'll do some of the things astronauts do. You will build and launch your own model rockets. In addition, you will explore the world of robotics using the LEGO(c) MindStorms system and fly cross-country using Microsoft Flight Simulator. That's not all! You will engineer a simulated rocket launch in an actual NASA mission control room while seated behind a computer console during the launch. You will also visit many of the departments at NASA Wallops Flight Facility to learn what their role is in launching rockets into space. In addition, you will tour the Navy Aegis training center, NOAA Weather Command and Data Acquisition Center, NASA and Virginia Commercial Space Flight launch facilities
